I never made it to
market. Well, actually I did. Got up at 3 and left the house by
3:30, which normally gives us almost an HOUR extra in case something goes
screwy on the drive, like an accident or road construction...OR THE FLIPPING
NORTH CAROLINA DOT SHUTTING DOWN A HUGE SWATH (14 miles to be exact) OF
INTERSTATE TO CHANGE BRAND NEW SIGNS (Less than a year old) AND WHILE DOING
SO TO REDIRECT TRAFFIC AND SHUT OFF MAJOR THOROUGHFARES INTO TOWN
AND GETTING ME SO TURNED AROUND I ALMOST RAN OUT OF GAS. Which you do not
want to do in this part of town cuz these city people don't think you need gas
until 10am. At one point they even had eastbound traffic traveling
west!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell ya how many times I watched drivers
take an exit to nowhere...usually, if I'm driving a normal truck (as in it has
4wd), I will MAKE my own exit, but that is not an option with the Great
White Boat I drive now, pitiful 2wd thang....
anyhoo I arrived to
market with a full truck, an HOUR late, and a full market as in
wayyyy overflowing, not even able to get close enough to
unload even if I could have gotten a spot. I was even willing to haul
5 coolers, booth paraphernalia and 10 dz eggs 1/4 mile away all by myself.
but did the market gods take pity on me??? no, nadda, no sirreeeee.
no room in the inn...I'da gladly hawked outta a stable...
Sorry 'bout
sideswiping that Lexus...it WAS parked in a no-parking zone so I had every
right. right????
anyone up for a
really really good deal on lettuce &
spinach?????????????
off to
bed.....
